"I will soon be 30, and the World Cup finals are coming around. My current situation clearly can't continue much longer", said a dejected Mignolet.

It's now Klopp's objective to land a new keeper this summer.

Alisson doesn't have a release clause fee written into his Roma contract but is valued in the region of £44m - a fee Liverpool would be able to pay after they scooped up £142m from Philippe Coutinho's sale to Barcelona. But signing the Brazilian number one may not be so easy.

Liverpool have already plucked Mohamed Salah from Stadio Olimpico in the past six months to the tune of £40m and, whilst Roma would find a bid of around the same figure hard to resist, would not want to weaken their side by selling to the Premier League club again.

Alisson is considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in European football today and has also been on Barcelona's radar, but Liverpool are said to be the ones showing the most interest in the stopper, but he would cost a huge sum.
